About our landlord roof survey in Berrick Salome
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. Common reasons to book are flashings that have come away and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, on converted houses, gutters and downpipes and rented houses.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Common questions in Berrick Salome
Is my home in Berrick Salome listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Berrick Salome within the area you cover?
Yes, Berrick Salome is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No. Our survey covers the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Can your report tell us who pays for the roof work?
No. Who pays is typically set by the lease, and that’s a legal question. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.

How much is a landlord roof survey?

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. The report is written in plain language.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Berrick Salome
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Brightwell Manor, about 3.5 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Berrick Salome. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.

DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.

How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take an hour or two for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a hamlet or village like Berrick Salome, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Getting a price
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.

When to book a survey in Berrick Salome
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Flashings that have come away
- Damaged pots and flaunching
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Helen, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How soon the report will arrive
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
